Biography
Roberto Marcelo Levingston Laborda was born in San Luis, Argentina on 10 January 1920, and he graduated from the military academy in 1941. In 1970, he ousted the military dictator Juan Carlos Ongania due to his failure to suppress the Montoneros and other guerrillas, but his protectionist policies failed to save the country's economy, and his use of the death penalty against terrorists and kidnappers increased opposition to the government. After a labor crisis began in 1971, Levingston was deposed by general Alejandro Agustin Lanusse, and he died in 2015 at the age of 95.
